Not a good afternoon!

Sam was fine off the ventilator for a little while, then all of a sudden he was struggling to breathe. They tried a nebulizer and he was still really out of it and not doing well. I said I was extremely concerned because I had never seen him like that, and we got the head doctor in the room. There was a thought of reintubation, but the bigger issue is we had no idea of why he was fine and then was not in a such a short period of time. We are still not really sure. He is on c-pap right now and his numbers are heading in the right direction. He is still really out of it, and he looks terrible. They did start some new medication to get his heart rate and blood pressure down. If he settles out, he will stay on c-pap and I am not sure the plan after that. There is still a chance of reintubation if he doesn't continue to well, but I am hopeful he will get through this without that. Please pray for Sam, and I will try to update later tonight. This is our first setback this time, and I am sure we will get through this, it is just hard when you are in the moment. You can never know the comfort it gives us to know we have all of your support and the prayers you send up for Sam. :)
